The role of non-coding RNAs in drug resistance of oral squamous cell carcinoma and therapeutic potential
- Pages: 981-1006
- First Published: 20 July 2021

The mechanisms of drug resistance are intricate and involve drug efflux, epithelial mesenchymal transition, DNA damage repair, and autophagy. Nano-delivery and self-cellular drug delivery platforms have a broad prospective for alleviating OSCC drug resistance. In particular, the combined application of new technologies (including CRISPR systems) opens up new horizons for treatment of OSCC drug resistance.

Integrative proteomics reveals the role of E3 ubiquitin ligase SYVN1 in hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis
- Pages: 1007-1023
- First Published: 01 July 2021

We constructed one of the largest ubiquitinome dataset obtained from human cancer tissues to date using the high-resolution mass spectrometry and immunoenrichment of diGly-modified peptides. We identified a E3 ligase, SYVN1, which potentially participated in the metastasis of HCC. We studied the interaction omics of SYVN1, and found it interacted with HSP90 and impacted the ubiquitination of EEF2K.
Trends in cancer mortality in China from 2004 to 2018: A nationwide longitudinal study
- Pages: 1024-1036
- First Published: 12 July 2021

This 15-year longitudinal study described cancer burden of a rapid changing country with significant regional and urban-rural disparities, which is important in evaluating the effect of population ageing, risk factor exposure, and public health efforts on cancer mortality. Lung and liver cancers were the 1st leading cause of immature death in women and men, respectively. Lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers kept increasing in rural areas. These findings are references for policy making to control cancer.
